Not a theory so much as wild eyed conjecture. Unless you can present some "sentient energy" in any sense other than the poetic. Would an atomic bomb release sentient energy, how about the light bulb in your example, would that also be sentient? If not, why not? Don;t get me wrong, you might be right, give me some way to determine that, and some way to tell which energy is sentient and which isn't (supposing it's not all sentient)? What are the pass and fail conditions for this theory, specific emphasis on the failure conditions?
Otherwise I might end up sounding like a loon, talking about sentient campfires and sentient radiation when that's not -at all- what you mean..lol.

In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
